Oracle today announced that Movistar Argentina, a subsidiary of the Telefónica Group and one of the leading mobile service providers in Argentina, has deployed Oracle's Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director session border controllers (SBCs) to help enable secure and reliable SIP-based communications.

As telecommunications networks become more complex -- with fixed line, mobile, next-generation and over-the-top (OTT) services often combined in one network -- communications service providers (CSPs) need a sophisticated session border controller to help maintain a high-performing and secure network.

The project extended the use of Oracle's Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director technology within Movistar Argentina. The operator has been using Oracle's Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director solutions for peering and session routing since 2008 and is well versed in the product's functional and performance advantages.

"With more than 19 million subscribers, Movistar Argentina is one of Argentina's largest mobile service providers. Oracle's Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director session delivery network solution allows Movistar Argentina to efficiently and cost-effectively evolve its network to keep pace with rapidly-expanding business demands," said Bhaskar Gorti, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications.
